for substantial evidence the agency’s continuous physical presence determination,
Lopez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 847, 850 (9th Cir. 2004), we deny the
petition for review.
The record does not compel the conclusion that Gonzalez Vargas met his
burden to establish continuous physical presence where he provided insufficient
evidence of his presence from April 1988 onwards. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183
F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir. 1999) (a contrary result is not compelled where there is
“[t]he possibility of drawing two inconsistent conclusions from the evidence”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
